I decided to expand my e-commerce business instead of studying for the LSAT. Made a decent sized chunk of cash and moved out of my parents home and did some travelling/partying. My business was recently shutdown...no legal consequences but also no more income. I panicked and registered for the LSAT and will begins studying tomorrow for the December exam. As I understand it, it will be next to impossible to get into a top 40 school this cycle. What are my chances of increasing my score to a 159/160 in 3 weeks so that I can at least get into Cardozo/Brooklyn/St. Johns ?MyLfIsNtWrthLvng wrote:OK.

Depending on the size of x midlaw firm, they might have a small summer associate program where they bring in one or two grads per year, but these situations are so few and far between (and contingent on serious ties) that TLS says to not even think about them as a realistic possibility as a 0L.
Another thing I am worried about according to this http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source ... ba2990.pdf the median for Cardozo is 3.60/164 whereas on their site http://www.cardozo.yu.edu/admissions/jd ... profile-jd they state their medians are 160/3.50 , I don't understand this discrepancy. Brooklyn is doing the same thing http://www.brooklaw.edu/admissions/stat ... stics.aspx http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source ... ba2047.pdf
